Chapter 1091 [Immortal Sword 1]
In ancient times, the world was in chaos, like a huge chaotic egg, without obvious boundaries and shapes. In this chaos, a powerful being was born - Pangu.
As time went by, Pangu's body continued to grow, and his power became stronger and stronger. However, the original chaotic state could no longer accommodate his increasingly large body, so Pangu's body began to undergo drastic changes.
Pangu's body gradually split, and the pure air slowly rose to form the sky, while the turbid air gradually settled to form the earth. The heaven and the earth were born in the splitting of Pangu's body.
After completing the feat of creating the world, Pangu finally exhausted his strength and fell down. However, his essence, energy and spirit did not disappear, but instead differentiated into three great gods, Fuxi, Shennong and Nuwa, who were later honored as the "Three Emperors".
Pangu's body originally contained endless spiritual power. With his death, this spiritual power dissipated and decomposed into five elements: water, fire, thunder, wind, and earth. They were spread between heaven and earth. These are the so-called "Five Spirits".
Pangu's heart was suspended between heaven and earth, becoming the link between heaven and earth. It was connected to the place where the pure air of heaven was concentrated. Due to the intersection of pure and turbid air, a magical tree grew there, becoming the source of life in heaven.
Since the world was just created and living things were scarce, the Three Emperors decided to create more life in different ways.
Fuxi used the fruit of the sacred tree that absorbed the pure air of the divine world as his body, and injected his own powerful energy into it to create a new kind of life - gods. Since the source of the sacred tree's fruit is scarce, the number of gods is extremely limited, but their spiritual power is extremely powerful.
In ancient times, the gods could not stand the turbid air of the earth, so they chose to live in the sky, and gradually formed a realm called "God's Realm".
Although the gods are divided into male and female, their intercourse and reproduction brings a serious problem - the gods will lose their spiritual power in the process and eventually die. Moreover, this kind of intercourse and reproduction cannot increase the number of gods, but will lead to a decrease in the number of gods. Therefore, the gods are strictly prohibited from intercourse and reproduction.
At the same time, Shennong, the great god, created a new kind of creature, "beasts", based on the earth, rocks, and plants, and poured his energy into them. These beasts included various forms such as beasts and insects. They were of many types, large in number, and had various abilities. However, because Shennong focused more on number and ability when creating them, the minds of these beasts were not fully developed, and their wisdom was relatively low.
Nuwa used a different method. She mixed soil and water, added her own blood and spiritual power, and then used a willow branch to gently shape a new life in her own image - "human". Humans are beautiful and intelligent, but relatively weak in physical strength. Although humans do not have particularly outstanding abilities, they have a very strong understanding.
In this way, gods lived in the sky, humans and animals lived on the earth, and there was also a "ghost world" as a place for reincarnation of humans, animals and other creatures. For tens of thousands of years, these three worlds have maintained relative peace and tranquility.
However, as time went on, the number of humans and animals continued to increase, and the conflicts between them also gradually increased. Excessive reproduction made resources tight, the living space was squeezed, and the contradictions between humans and animals became increasingly acute.
Shennong, one of the Three Emperors of the Later Tang Dynasty and the great god of medicine, died suddenly on earth. There are two theories about his cause of death. One theory is that Shennong tried all kinds of plants in person to find herbs that could cure diseases and save lives, but unfortunately died of poisoning; the other theory is quite controversial, and some people rumored that he died because he had sex with animals to reproduce offspring.
However, no matter what the real cause of Shennong's death was, his death had a huge impact on mankind. Not long after, a highly intelligent ruler appeared among the beasts - Chi You. Chi You led the beasts and launched a brutal war against humans, with the goal of monopolizing this vast land.
Faced with the fierce attack of the beasts, humans fell into an unprecedented crisis. But fortunately, humans received help from the gods. Under the wise command of the god general Xuanyuan, humans rose up to resist and launched a thrilling showdown with Chiyou's army.
After a fierce battle, humans finally won and Chiyou's army was defeated. However, Chiyou did not give up. He used up his last bit of strength to open a passage to another world and sent his remaining troops into that mysterious world.
The remnants of Chi You went through hardships in the alien world and gradually cultivated into demons. As time went by, this originally desolate world gradually formed a unique realm - "Demon Realm" because of the existence of these demons.
The passage opened by Chi You was later called the "Well of Gods and Demons". This well became the only passage connecting the worlds of gods and demons. Both sides set up many obstacles inside and sent heavy troops to guard it, strictly prohibiting the creatures of the two worlds from passing through.
In the vast world of beasts, there are occasionally some special beings. Through hard training, they successfully stimulated the power of Shennong that they inherited, and thus transformed into "monsters" with special abilities. These monsters have extraordinary powers and unique skills, which are completely different from ordinary beasts.
At the same time, humans are not completely without this magical power. After long-term practice, humans can also stimulate the spiritual power of Nuwa that they have inherited, and then practice to become "immortals". Immortals have extraordinary abilities and endless lifespans. They can control the power of nature and perform amazing spells.
However, the formation of demons and immortals does not only depend on talent and practice, the earth's energy is also a crucial factor. Different regions contain different earth's energy, which will have a profound impact on practitioners. Some places have rich earth's energy and are suitable for practice, while some places are relatively barren and it is difficult to stimulate potential power.
Because of this, a mysterious realm called "immortal world" appeared in the sky. This is the habitat of immortals, full of rich spiritual energy and mysterious power. In the human world, there are also many places regarded as "immortal world", the most famous of which are the ten great caves, thirty-six small caves and seventy-two blessed places.
Among these places, two are particularly eye-catching. One is the "Shu Mountain" where Pangu's heart is located. It is considered to be one of the places with the most spiritual energy between heaven and earth, attracting countless immortal cultivators to explore its mysteries. The other is the "Kunlun Mountain" located below the heavenly fairyland. It is not only an important passage from the human world to the fairyland, but also a sacred mountain containing endless treasures and mysterious power.
